Ah!

But at this moment, a brocade guard hurriedly came from outside, mixed at the threshold, and almost fell to the point of.

The examiners who were reviewing the papers heard the sound and looked over.

The brocade guard's face was red, and when he looked up and saw Zhu Qianhu's eyes that seemed to be eating people, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lord Qianhu, the dining hall has prepared a meal!" ”

"It's getting dark, please move to Jukui Hall and read the papers tomorrow!"

Zhu Jiu, the superintendent who was sitting on the left side of the Caution Hall, retracted his cold gaze, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the six examiners.

Yin Tai, who was sitting in the hall, was relieved, secretly exhaled a breath of turbidity, put the pen on the table, and then looked up at the four fellow examiners in the hall, and nodded slowly.

After counting the number of test papers, everyone walked out of the Caution Hall together, and there will be three locks on the door of the Caution Hall, each with Yin Tai, Li Mu and Zhu Jiu, and they will be opened together tomorrow.

After a busy day, some people already have back pain and keep beating their backs with their hands. The four fellow examiners did not leave first, but stood outside the courtyard gate and waited for the two officials, who also chatted there.

Since the four examiners were all temporarily transferred from all over the world, they were not very familiar with each other, and the topics of the township examination were not easy to discuss, so the topic was still on what they had seen and heard in these days.

But I don't know who first talked about the candidate who was bitten by a poisonous snake in the examination room that day, and then talked about the ghost, guessing that the candidate must have done something evil, afraid that he was haunted by the spirit flag with evil ghosts.

"Zi is silent, strange and confused, Hugh is here to confuse the public!" When Li Mu who came over heard this, he quoted scriptures and reprimanded him in a straight manner.

Although the official rank of the same examiner was not high, he was not afraid of him, and said solemnly: "Master Li, don't believe it, when Xia Guan participated in the Autumn Festival, there was a candidate who was a popular choice for Xie Yuan, and that article was beyond the reach of the dust. But he tore up the test paper not long after the exam started, and even had to hit the wall to die, but fortunately, the sergeant pulled him at that time, and he just fainted, which can be regarded as picking up a life! ”

"Did he suddenly get sick?" The eldest examiner next to him asked.

"That's what we thought at first!" The fellow examiner smiled wryly, then sighed, "But later, we learned the truth. It turned out that the candidate was actually not a scholar in this province, but used Li Daitao's method to take advantage of the province's poor cultural fortune. It's just that the candidate who was replaced by him has already been killed, and it was the candidate who was killed who came back to seek revenge that day. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt a gust of cloudy wind.

They all went through the imperial examination, so they naturally heard about all kinds of ghosts and gods in the Gongyuan. But many people have passed the imperial examination very peacefully, and now when they listen to this terrible experience, and think that they are in the tribute courtyard, they suddenly feel a chill hit.

The eldest examiner stroked his beard and said with a slight sigh: "In this way, the candidate who was bitten by the snake that day also did evil, and I am afraid that my mouth will not shout at Xiuya, but you ...... Hugh, it's also the unjust ghost who has come back to seek revenge! ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Yin Tai, who came over, immediately stood on the spot, and the cold hairs on his body stood up, especially when he heard "Ru...... Hugh Zai" those three words.

"I think that's it, that snake doesn't bite so many candidates, I'm afraid it's also a psychic thing, but I don't know if it was beaten to death by those hateful sergeants!" The examiner nodded, and worried about the snake.

"Those sergeants are just ordinary people, how can they get that spirit snake, I'm afraid that the spirit snake will turn into green smoke and disappear!" Someone said very optimistically, and then said to Zhu Jiu: "Lord Qianhu, I think you should check that candidate, maybe there will be a murder!" ”

"This is a thousand households, and you are not allowed to point fingers!" Zhu Hu's face darkened instantly, and he glanced at the same examiner fiercely, and then strode towards Jukui Hall.

"Corpse vegetarian meal, Da Ming will give this kind of person a scourge sooner or later!" The same examiner actually said something casually, but seeing him lose his face like this, he immediately accused him hatefully at his back.

It's just that everyone didn't notice that the chief examiner Yin Tai's face was white, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead.

On this night, Yin Tai woke up from his dream, and the scene he saw when he stood in Mingyuan Tower that day was repeated in his dream. But this time the plot has changed, and the candidate who was bitten by the snake ran in front of him, in addition to saying "Yu Xiuzai", he also said "Don't hesitate".

Wouldn't it be a pity?

He felt that this was not to persuade him to seize Yan Song's olive branch, but to ask him not to give up the faith he had adhered to for more than 20 years and continue to be an honest and honest official.

In addition, if that brocade guard Zhu Jiu really went to find the candidate who was bitten by the snake, I am afraid that everything would be revealed, how could he still take this risk?

The next day, the review continued.

The first thing Yin Tai did was to knock down the test paper that he decided to take yesterday, and then he continued to review the papers, and he sensitively noticed that Zhu Jiu's eyes seemed to flash a trace of disappointment.

"Haha...... Xie Yuan is out! ”

But at this time, the oldest examiner said excitedly.

This exclamation attracted the attention of the examiners. And the fellow examiner knew that he was out of shape, and hurriedly apologized to everyone, but his face was still hard to hide his excitement.

The examiner sitting next to him was itchy and unbearable, waved his head and glanced at it, and saw one of the broken questions in the article, and praised it repeatedly.

The eldest examiner, suppressing the excitement in his heart, excitedly wrote down the reason for the recommendation, and highly recommended the test paper, that is, the meaning of strong recommendation.

Generally speaking, the papers that are recommended by the same examiner will often be selected. It's not a matter of face, but the same examiner is from a jinshi, and this bit of eyesight is still there.

The deputy examiner Li Mu was also curious in his heart, what kind of paper made this fellow examiner so out of shape, when he read these three splendid articles, his face was flushed, his eyes were also shining, and he said happily to Yin Tai: "Brother Jiushan, Xie Yuan is here!" ”

Hey?

The other three examiners in the hall were even more interested, and they raised their heads to look at the hall again, their eyes fell on the test paper presented to Yin Tai, knowing that it must be a good work.

This article is so touted by the same examiner and deputy examiner, even if this candidate is not Xie Yuan, he will be in the fifth place.

"This article is smooth, but it uses dictionaries indiscriminately, talking about the sages in vain, this madness! I don't take this son! Yin Tai gently shook the test paper, and then threw it into the falling paper.

The hall is silent.
